I loved their tv programme. I also loved a show called Ski Boy but I may have made that up as a child. Growing up I was a Magpie viewer over Blue Peter purely because they seemed more down with the kids. Same with Tiswas over MCSS. I loved those sunday Tea Time family dramas, Five Children and It, Phoenix and the Carpet, Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. I've got a dvd of the old series of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Got is free with something, Can't remember what. It was that usual cheap budget production of that time but I did enjoy watching it again nevertheless.

Some of my friends watched Magpie, but I would have no truck with it, Blue Peter only. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghastly, never again. God no, The Wiggles were a horror show. Very much a kids show that doesn't translate at all well to adults, probably because it's so "musically" based. Frankly on a forum where The Vaccines are slated, The Wiggles would be seen as absolute blasphemy. I think @bickster should be forced to listen to them for a couple of hours, would probably drive him quite literally insane Edited May 31, 2021 by sidcow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I'm glad that no one on here has recommended Blippi. I'd happily go to the worst prison in South America for what I'd like to do to him. My son loves him after the YouTube algorithm auto-played him after some Hey Dugee. Jesus wept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted May 31, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 31, 2021 Not entirely sure of this is the right place to ask but feels appropriate. The brother in law has given our little one a load of old toys including some He-man ones from the 80s. One of them is a dude with a blue masked helmet on that then slides open to reveal a green face. I've got no idea who it is and would appreciate if anyone has any ideas. Can't figure out how to compress a photo to upload a pic, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought about anything being collectible back then. Edited May 31, 2021 by ferguson1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple and quick to use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
